Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records the conclusion of Hadad’s reign and introduces the established leadership structure of Edom, continuing a political and genealogical list from the preceding verse.
The words — The text uses וַיָּמָת (va.yamot), literally “and he died,” to mark the end of a ruler, followed by אַלּוּפֵי אֱדוֹם (allufei Edom), meaning “chiefs of Edom,” to introduce the succeeding tribal leaders.
The thread — This roster of Edomite leaders runs parallel to Genesis 36:40, which records the same chiefs under Esau’s lineage to establish historical continuity.
Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to note the formal end of a reign and to trace the Chronicler’s Edomite records directly to the ancestral accounts in Genesis.
